Good move forward for Malaysia! Could you please tell:

1) What sticks will be used, and if we can bring our own?
2) PS3 or XBOX360?
3) The tournament system e.g. double elimination (reference: http://evo2k.com/playerGuide/format.php)
4) Any banned characters e.g. Akuma/Gouken/Seth
5) Any other specific rules e.g. banning turbo buttons, accidental START presses, etc.

I know details may be scarce, but definitely welcomed

So far, we don't know till what extent Sony and GH's involvement and support in this tournament is. By all means, it could very much be played on GH's 360s while the grand prize is forked out by Sony. Or a combination of 360s and PS3s. Show me a part of any T&C or Tournament Rules that "obviously stated" it will be played on the PS3 platform.

In the end I believe this will also be based on the crowd's response, and it may even be down to single PS3 where people take turns to play elimination style, or an army of PS3s where the general public can test and play the game.

It never hurts to ask.

Cool, I am going too. I think 2-3 good players I know are going as well and I am sure there are many armchair champions who will conquer the day.

Thanks for the fast updates, FCL and Alan!

Alan, didn't know you are Mark's cousin... I knew him for more than 10 years already. He's been hiding under a rock waiting to make his comeback

EDK, yah I remember you. You know Leong too

The tall guy is another friend, and I'm only a spectator for Tekken - can't keep up with so many games. Anyway, let's carry further discussion via PM... don't wanna hijack this thread
